Samsung Brings Solana-Powered Stablecoin Transfers to 82M Galaxy Devices.
Samsung is partnering with Solana to bring stablecoin transfers directly into Samsung Wallet, giving eligible users across 82 million U.S. Galaxy devices access to USDC transfers without needing a separate crypto wallet.
The feature is expected to launch in the last week of October, allowing users to send USDC to compatible wallets internationally and transfer funds to eligible bank accounts in more than 60 countries, where recipients can receive local currency. Samsung will not charge fees for USDC transfers to external wallets, although receiving platforms may impose their own fees.
Solana and Sui will provide the underlying blockchain infrastructure, while Bastion will handle stablecoin accounts and custody infrastructure, with Coinbase Prime serving as its sub-custodian. Users will also be able to access fiat on- and off-ramps directly through the experience.
The bigger takeaway is distribution. Stablecoins are moving from dedicated crypto applications into a wallet already used for everyday mobile services, putting USDC and Solana-based transfers in front of tens of millions of potential users without requiring them to understand the underlying blockchain infrastructure.
